ROKU INC (ROKU)

Roku has an enviable platform position, but hasn't translated that to profitability.

Shares of streaming TV platform Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) fell 10% in the afternoon session after advertising software platform The Trade Desk announced it is developing a new connected TV operating system (OS) called Ventura, with plans to launch as early as 2025. Given Roku's strong presence in the connected television market, TTD's announcement could be perceived as a potential threat to Roku's dominance. If The Trade Desk succeeds in launching a connected TV OS, it could encroach on Roku's territory, especially considering TTD's deep expertise in programmatic advertising, a key revenue stream for connected TV platforms.
